Great Service & Results, Everything Exactly as Promised

Mr. Palumbo's office operates like a well-oiled machine, everyone from the receptionists to Attorney Ron Ritz to Mr. Palumbo were outstanding. 5 stars, 10 points! Highly recommended! I got a bogus cell phone ticket I didn't deserve but didn't want to take a chance on going in alone to represent my...self in court. I live in CT but drive on NY highways every day and as a self-employed professional would have an enormous problem if I ever had my NY license suspended so I wanted to get those points off my record. Mr. Palumbo's attorney Ron Ritz appeared for me and got my 5 point violation reduced to 2 points, and I have the option to take an online course to get them eliminated altogether. I was spared the time, aggravation and lost income of going into court at all. For under a grand all told it will be like it never happened, totally removed. Well worth their fee!

Thank You to Palumbo & Associates!

With their help, my daughter's speeding ticket was dismissed! My college student daughter, who holds a California Driver's License, got a very unfair ticket in Dutchess County -- the officer alleged that she was going 68 in a 55 mile zone. Which she was NOT! Because she holds a CA DL, she wouldn't ha...ve been able to do traffic school, so this ticket would've been a real and long term financial hardship. We also now know, thanks to Palumbo & Associates, that an officer can't just order you out of your car and search it for no reason without your consent. The officer threw her groceries out of the bags (it was late afternoon - she had been at work and then grocery shopping), tossed things out of the glove box, etc. and made her stand with her hands on the car. This was very traumatic for her and it was news to both of us that they can't just do this. Such a bad experience for her. We are so glad that Palumbo & Associates was there for us. And they made the process easy! They called us back right away, emailed us the paperwork that we needed to fill out and, other than waiting for the result, that was it! Money well spent and we are very grateful.

Never ever consent to a search of your vehicle. Even if you have "nothing to hide." Most cops are good and are trying to do their job, but some are bad and you don't get to pick which cops you deal with. Cops plant evidence all the time to give themselves overtime and stand out among their peers to get promotions and better assignments. You have a 4th amendment right to be free from warrantless, unreasonable searches and seizures. When a cop asks for consent to search a vehicle, simply say "I'm sorry officer, but I don't give consent to search." If a cop asks you to get out of your vehicle ask them if they are asking or ordering. Unless they order you out of the car don't get out. If they do order you out of the car roll the windows up, turn the car off, lock it, and put the key in your pocket. When you do that the police have to get a search warrant if they see anything suspicious in the vehicle because nothing in there is "reachable" or "grabbable."

Better than expected!!!

Got a six-point speeding ticket...they negotiated it down to a 0-point parking ticket with a $250 fine. It was better than I hoped for! Could I have done just as well if I had represented myself? Maybe, maybe not. But I'm sure I could not have done any better. And once I handed it over to these ...guys, they took care of everything...and were very responsive and quick to reply whenever I had a question. They clearly know what they are doing and are set up to do it! PS...The boss, Michael Palumbo, can sometimes come across as a bit, well, gruff? Don't let that put you off. His service is first rate. PPS...His websites are also first rate and provide a ton of information, far more than any of the other attorneys I checked. In fact, it was reading the website that made me think I could probably do it myself--but also made me feel that if I were to get a lawyer, I should definitely pick the Palumbo firm.

Highly recommended!

Thank you Palumbo and Associates! My son received five tickets which included reckless driving, speeding and failure to yield. Palumbo and Associates were able to get all tickets dismissed! I am grateful for their help.
